Dallas Mavericks’ standout player, Luka Doncic, will miss the game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. This comes after the arrival of his first child, a daughter named Gabriela, during the afternoon. Doncic, along with his fiancee, Anamaria Goltes, shared the wonderful news on social media earlier in the day.

Doncic is not the only player absent for personal reasons, as reserve guard Dante Exum is also out due to his personal circumstances. Additionally, Maxi Kleber is sidelined due to a toe dislocation, while Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable because of back spasms. On the positive side, Olivier-Maxence Prosper has been upgraded to available after dealing with an ankle sprain.

It’s worth noting that Doncic had recently announced his engagement to Goltes, his long-time girlfriend, back in July. This absence will mark the first game Doncic has missed this season, despite averaging 31.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game for the 11-6 Mavericks, who lead the Southwest Division and are currently fourth in the Western Conference standings.

In his last game, a 121-115 victory over the Houston Rockets, Doncic exhibited an impressive performance with 41 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists.
